Bamboo Growing Season

30 March, 2017

Spring is a special time for bamboo. Once a year, in April, bamboo begins its growing season. It's the one time of the year bamboo is not harvested. As the bamboo shoots are coming out of the ground, farmers do not go into the forest for fear of stepping on them.

Because bamboo grows so fast, by the end of April all the bamboo shoots that have come out are already as tall as a person. It's safe to go back in the forest and harvest only 4 years or older bamboo for bamboo flooring.
